| Wst- What about this Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} C. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. re Acme Thread on bijur Starter Pinion. 25/30 and Bentley. We should be glad if you would let us have a report as soon as possible on the use of an acme thread on the bijur starter pinion. We believe that you have two of these in service. The standardisation of this feature would enable us to considerably reduce the cost of production, and obtain a better job. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} One fitted to 6BII | ||
